Twenty-two patients who are receiving dialysis treatment at the hospital in Nauru celebrated an early Christmas on the weekend.
The patients organised an evening of feasting and exchanged gifts with one another.
Family members, doctors and nurses also joined in the celebrations to make the night a memorable one for the patients.
The Republic of Nauru (RON) Hospital's dialysis clinic treats approximately 10 patients per day in four-hour dialysis sessions three days per week.
